The collected works of Cleveland native, author/provocateur Joey Bauer, are now available on kindle at last – (Amazon and all other kindle apps). Treat yourself to some of the best legal fun that you can still have with your clothes on in a red state or wish you had. "Hollywood Raw" - a raunchy memoir - Movie stars caught with their pants down; teen idol tells all; "Married with Children" exposed ... Featured on the Montel Williams Show … “This book has everyone talking.” “Occupation Wiseguy” – a novel – A college boy is tapped by a greatly feared Mafioso to write his biography. It was a good day for a murder. Based on the true story of the Cleveland mob, their very good New York friends and the kid who blew the house down. "Teen Angels" - a play – Kids at juvenile hall and an ally fight the power. Only the strong survive. Meet the collateral damage, the boys and girls who might have been you or yours. Their pain has a long shelf life, and it demands to be felt. Based on a true story set to raw gangster rap and “Those Oldies but Goodies” by Little Caesar & the Romans. "Skating Hollywood Blvd." - five plays about life in the Hollywood fast lane. "The biggest dreamers of all are drawn to Tinseltown like moths to a flame. Every guy you meet there has a headshot, a screenplay and a fantasy: scores the Porsche, wins the Oscar and pulls mad freaky starlet puss." Based on true stories set to “Say Goodbye to Hollywood” by Ronnie Spector. "Mendy Berry, Jewish Cowboy" - a play - Baby boomers Mendy and Chunky, his black-and-proud sidekick, pledged loyalty until the end, and this is it. As kids, they found sanctuary from abusive fathers, ruthless bullies and poverty at their neighborhood movie house. For Mendy, the matinee never ended, but, for Chunky, it ended way too soon. "Two Old Jews walk in a Deli" - a play - "You don't have to be Jewish to love matzo ball soup, but it wouldn't hurt." The story of two pals, corned beef, Viagra and a hot waitress with a big secret. Based on a true story set to “Hava Nagila” and “Coney Island Baby” by the Excellents, ’62. "Two Guys from Cleveland" - a novel - Best pals fall for the same girl, who offers them a timeshare. She marries one of them, but still itches for his sidekick. When she starts scratching, things get crazy. Based on a true story set to those smokin’ ‘50’s golden oldies and “Beer Barrel Polka” by Frankie Yankovic. "Cue the Sunset" - a play - Two Bronx boys have champagne tastes and Kool Aid budgets. They set out to seek glamour, glory and gold with a liquor store cashier, the cops, a gun and Fate awaiting them at day's end. Based on a true story set to raw gangster rap and “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” “Buckeye by Choice” – a play – A wide-eyed and bi-curious OSU freshman super fan encounters his gridiron hero in the shower, and things get sticky. “Look who’s calling somebody Crazy” – a play – A wild psych ward group therapy session, which is best described as a no-rules ultimate fighting cage match set to “Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendencies.

ATTN. FILMMAKERS
by Joseph Bauer via NEohioPAL 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

“Teen Angels,” my truth-based, edgy drama set to rap and ‘60’s R & B is available for production, and I am seeking a Cleveland centric filmmaker with a vision akin to my own with whom to collaborate. If that wets your appetite, please contact me at Joeybauer1967(a)gmail.com, and I will forward the screenplay. With a mixed gender and culturally diverse cast of nine, a single set, just one scene and a running time of 90 minutes, “Teen Angels” features a barrage of in-your-face dialogue and pure provocation. Viewers, particularly ages 13 – 25, are in store for lots of bang for their buck with this one; it brazenly holds absolutely nothing whatsoever sacred: family values, the law of the land nor, especially, authority figures of all stripes. The story takes place in a day room at Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall now and focuses on a very unique group therapy session, for which the closest comparison is a no-rules-ultimate-fighting-cage-match, led by social worker and aspiring movie cowboy, Mel Feinberg, 26, self-described as “a wise ass on a short leash.” The posse consists of seven inmates, all of them age 17, awaiting sentencing and quivering in a melodramatic display of mock fear of Dr. Crabtree, Afr. Am., the facility’s director, staunch advocate of force feeding her charges with the gospel by any means necessary. As a side bar, we are drawn into the kids’ compelling histories of victimization and mind-blowing mayhem. With tongues and minds racing at warp speed and thoughts and emotions jostling for position, they are aggressively sniffing out each other’s identities like a newly formed pack of dogs. We watch as they fight the power with only the strong left standing. My other work includes the risqué memoir, *Hollywood Raw*, and “On the Wall,” an urban drama, presented by L.A.’s Barnsdal Gallery Theatre. In addition, “Hotel California,” my psychological thriller, and “Hollywood Cowboy,” my comedy, - (both read at Cleveland’s Ensemble Theatre) – put my stamp on a multitude of theater patrons’ must-see lists. Apropos, a retrospective of my portfolio is available on kindle – (Amazon and all other apps). I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your interest. Cheers, Joey Bauer

Donating old sheet music
by Cleveland Letter Carrier Band via NEohioPAL 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

The Cleveland Letter Carrier Band has sheet music dating back at least 100 years. Lots of it is very old, and lots of it is march-size. The band has gotten much smaller over the years and we are cleaning out our files. I would like to ask whether anyone has need of very old music, or could suggest somewhere to donate it instead of throwing it in the recycling bin? Please send suggestions to clevelandlettercarrierband(a)gmail.com. Thank you very much.

We are looking for a new director. The directorship is primarily a volunteer position, with a small stipend available, and only requires a few hours per week. This is the chance to direct one of the Cleveland area's oldest community bands. Please email Debbie at clevelandlettercarrierband(a)gmail.com if you are interested in directing our band. In addition, we are also always seeking new members, and currently are in need of clarinet, trombone, French horn, and tuba players.

Review of “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal”
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Billy Crystal’s stand-up storytelling gets well-deserved standing ovation Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics In an interview a few weeks prior to this past Wednesday’s performance at Playhouse Square, comedian Billy Crystal promised the CJN that Clevelanders attending his “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal” would leave feeling as if they had just shared a casual dinner at his table. Despite working before a near-sold-out crowd of 3,400, being on the far side of an exhausting 36-city tour, and not serving any food or beverages whatsoever, Crystal most certainly lived up to his promise.
